Is rust faster than javascript in I/O-intensive work? I have a JS script that doing automating (fetching data and stuff, I'm planning to move to Rust because I heard that Rust is way faster than JS. Is that true?

for i/o bound stuff, i would image node is probably comparable to rust but rust will hands down out-perform node on CPU-bound ops

The nodejs apis are written in c++, but it’s still single threaded

yeah, for sure rust is faster in CPU tasks, but I wonder if it also faster in I/O I heard that NodeJS is good for I/O, but I'm considering move to Rust (because I need the script to run as fast as possible)

It's probably technically faster, but I'd be surprised if it's significantly so. And then you also have to factor in development time and complexity
